I LOVE your smudging. I wish I could smudge like that xD
Mine looks unrealistic compared to yours.
Anyways, this is an awesome manip.
My only suggestion is not so much text. It makes it look a little crowded.
But other than that your lighting is awesome, and the overall feel is amazing.
Even the shadow is amazing.

Heh, shadows is me playing with the transform points with skewing and distorting and a mask to adjust the Gaussian blur to taper for distance... ^^ Basically you start the mask as a black to transparent gradient to where the red is on the shadow closest to your subject, because shadows are sharper the closer to the object they are, then you just Gaussian blur the selected part of the shadow so it looks right ^^ I took a class >.>
Anyway, yea, I realize it was a bit much text. If I ever use it for anything I'll either fade it more or remove a lot of it ^^
As for smudging, really I just set the smudge tool to anywhere between 80%-95% at 1 pixel and smudge the little hairs back in, but I also have a tablet so I try to use penpressure if the driver works. I don't even know if it does anymore because I had to uninstall then reinstall it ^^'

Oh, I also forgot to mention ^^
I don't use the smudge brush in normal mode. If the hair is light colored I use light, and dark colored use dark, so that the strands show up over other colors instead of retarded blending issues ^^ That might help a bit

I tried your suggestion (with the different modes on the smudge brush). It works much better than the other way I was doing it! Thank you!! ^^
